Returning: SurvivorBy David Knox on April 19, 2012 / Filed Under Programming 14

At last.

Nine has finally scheduled Survivor: One World.

It will begin at 10:30pm Tuesday May 1st.

The 24th edition of the reality series strands 18 castaways on a single Samoan beach, where they are divided into all-male and all-female tribes to vie for the $1 million top prize.

Nine’s scheduling is way behind the US, which began on February 15th. So far 9 episodes have aired.

Unless it schedules extra episodes it is extremely unlikely Nine will be able to catch up before the finale. And we hate learning Reality winners before airing in Australia on a reasonable turn-around. At least Seven delivers The Amazing Race within the week of its US screening.

Nine has been waiting for Top Gear episodes to conclude before starting Survivor despite fans asking for it to air on GO!
